tube lines south of the river

"The Only Living Boy in New Cross" wrote in message m... One of the commonest explanations you hear for the lack of tube lines south of the river is that the soil is unsuitable for the tunnelling equipment in use in the early years of the 20th century. If that's the case, though, how did the Morden end of the Northern Line get built? Have you been South of the river ?? Nasty place. Who wants to get to Streatham quicker, and as for Woolwich...... urghhhh :-) Nasty how it sounds there may be a grain of salt in it. I don't recall the author, but Metroland (the suburbs to the northwest) were quite posh and could afford tube fares whereas the more proletarian southern suburbs weren't as intersting for tube intvestors.
